It is a known fact that having an affiliate program is the most powerful way to market your products or services online (Read more on the benefits of affiliate program).

If you own a WordPress blog/site and your answer to the following questions are ‘yes’ then the ‘WordPress Affiliate Platform’ is what you need:

Do you sell products or services online from your WordPress blog/site?

Do you want to increase your sales and explode your profits by using an affiliate program?

Do you want to have your own affiliate program so you can cut the middle man and build your own brand?

WordPress Affiliate Plugin Summary

The WordPress Affiliate Platform is an easy to use WordPress plugin for affiliate recruitment, management and tracking that can be used on any WordPress blog or site. This plugin lets you run your own affiliate campaign/program and allows you to reward (pay commission) your affiliates for referring sales.

The admin can configure banners, links and creatives which the affiliates can use on their site to drive traffic to your site. All the clicks, leads, sales etc are tracked by this plugin.

If you are running online ad campaigns for your products and services then you can use the affiliate platform plugin to measure the true conversion rate of each campaign to find out the profitable ones. This allows you to weed out the non-profitable campaigns and save money in the process.

In a nutshell, the Affiliate Platform Plugin will help you achieve the following:

@Pat, Yes there is an option that will auto send out an email to the Affiliate when you approve them.

If you use the affiliates need to be approved option in the Affiliate Platform. Can you auto send out an email when you approve them? Or do you manually need to send out the email after you approve them?

Hi! We’re using WooCommerce Subscriptions and would like the sign up fee to be bypassed by the WP-Affiliate system (while the recurring fees are accounted for). Is this possible? We’re using the sign up fee as a deposit and can’t have that amount split to the affiliates.

Thanks for your help.

@Brandon, Yes it is possible to award affiliates recurring commission if they refer a customer to a Subscription via eStore or WooCommerce subscription addon.

Brandonsays:

Is it possible to award affiliates recurring commission if they refer a customer to a Subscription?

If so,

Is this possible with your wp e-store plugin?

and, is it possible with WooCommerce + Subscriptions plugin?

Thanks in advance,
Brandon

@Andrew, You can set it in the Affiliate to either pay a once off commission or every time the recurring payment happens.

Andrewsays:

December 27, 2013 at 5:22 pm

When using the Affiliate and recurring subscriptions, will the affiliate be paid one time or on the recurring amount?

This plugin will track the commission every time a recurring payment is charged and Thats it.

You usually use a membership plugin to handle the membership side of things (for example: if you want to do advanced content protection for your content so certain content can be seen by some members and not others).

Nyrokasays:

I am creating a website where members pay a monthly fee to join and get paid commission for each person they refer. Do i need a membership plugin or can I use this to what I want?

adminsays:

September 14, 2013 at 9:31 pm

@Nyroka, Yes you can but it really depends on which membership plugin you intend to use. We have integration with a few membership plugins. It also works well with our own membership plugin WP eMember.

Nyrokasays:

September 14, 2013 at 9:27 pm

Can I use this for membership sites and recurring bills?

Korin Iversonsays:

September 5, 2013 at 8:18 pm

@Mark, Yes the Affiliate has integration with Gravity Forms and the PayPal add-on. You can see these options here:

Pre-Sale question… I already have the eStore & eMember plugins, which are totally awesome, but I’d like to use the Affiliate plugin to track eStore’s actual “buy now” button… not a text link/ad that points to the page — the actual purchase (dynamic?) link that eStore produces for each product. I’ve watched the setup video for the Affiliates plugin and I’m not quite sure if that’s possible, so I thought I’d ask here. If there’s a way to associate an estore buy now button/link with an affiliate member’s ID through a shortcode, that would work, too (something like… [wp_eStore_buy_now_button id=1 affiliate_id=1]). Please let me know if this is doable =)

Martinsays:

July 10, 2013 at 8:47 pm

I agree with met, this is an awesome tool. I own all the plugins they have to offer and love each and everyone.

Yes you can use it for once off payments and recurring subscription payments. The Affiliate will track both types of payments when using it with WishList.

harrysays:

how easy is it to integrate your affiliate software with wishilst members? will it work for one off payments and recurring subscription products? what steps would be required to have integration working properly? we are only using paypal for payments
